[LUAU] SAMBA Newbie Setup

[John W Christian]

Chris & Steve,

I am guessing, but I think there are actually three [3] questions/actions
involved here.  And they are involving Road Runner....  ;-)

Agreed

Here is where I think the problem starts; I do not believe IP MASQ &
forwarding
[???] are in WIN98 OS let alone SAMBA, just in Linux OS.  So Steve's
Linux box
will need to be the gateway to the Internet [RR].  But our documentation
on the
Web Page explains that [???].

Again, refer to the documentation on the Web Page....

refer to the web page...

SAMBA & the Linux server being confused above; which makes Chris's
response quite logical [barring RR connection]

Agreed
